I don't know what you are getting paid for doing this job but I think you deserve more. It's hard to find a mechanic that knows his way around electronics at your level. I really enjoy watching your videos, thanks man!

[@michaeljanssen5089]

I have to say, when I first started watching Wes’s videos on 6 liters, I didn’t care for his demeanor on them. He likes to throw digs and insults at them, which was a turn off to me because, despite their “idiosyncrasies”, when built/corrected right, these are really great engines. I was really taking insult to his digs on them, but as you watch his videos, you learn his personality traits and sense of humor, and now I’m becoming a big fan. Anyone that takes the time to make these type of videos while working on any engine or any machine for that matter, deserves a lot of credit. The work itself is hard enough, but to take the time to make a video to help us learn, and learn it right, is definitely something to be commended. Wes sure seems to take the time to do the job absolutely correctly and that in and of itself seems to be a rarity these days. So Wes, please forgive me for not liking you at first, ( because you hated on my beloved 6.0’s!) because now you have a loyal follower in me. Thank you for taking the time and effort to teach and show us the RIGHT WAY fix these beasts. I will agree with you on many points as to what were these engineers thinking when they designed some of the systems on these engines and trucks, but I guess everything can’t be perfect. My 6.0 has been mostly very reliable, I’ve had my share of crank no starts (IPR sensor), bad oil cooler, and rough running, but thanks to guys like you, I’ve been able to fix my own rig right, and once. My next project is to replace my glow plugs and harnesses, and possibly an injector or two, as she’s running a little rough when cold. Mine is a one previous owner 142,000 mile truck, very unmolested, deleted, not studded CCLBSRW. F350 Thanks again, and I look forward to more videos ! -Mike

I've been with you for several years now and have always enjoyed your videos Wes.Recently, I got pushed out of my svc. manager position of 20 years at the local Ford dealer here in small town Texas. Big corporate company bought em out. Anyway, turns out it was a good thing. I've opened my own shop. I see you use AE Tools and computers. I got a VCM3 and IDS/FDRS with the subscription from Ford through them. Good people, although Cody sure did push to get me to buy a $3800.00 laptop of theirs! (didn't buy it) They have a great tech assist team there. Anyway, ironically, as I was watching your video I got a text from a good customer/friend that had his 2004 6.0 F250 being towed in for a no start after hot soak. I'm pretty sure he's got a high pressure oil leak... Keep up your weekly videos Wes, you have a fan base that would be seriously disappointed if you didn't!! CHEERS

I remember when I quit doing your kind of work in the mid-80's. One of the reasons I quit was lack of access for maintenance or repair, and the frustration that went with it. Apparently, I had a cake walk compared to what you have to do. From all appearances, no manufacturer gives one iota of thought to how it will be repaired in the future. If you have to pull the engine to change the oil, f*** it. Continue on. Some of it is past being absurd. Your a better man than I am, Wes.

Running shoe recommendation. New Balance 990's. V... whatever they're up to now. Think I had V3's and V4s. Try to find a New Balance store, get your foot measured. and get them there. They're made in the USA. I put a BUNCH of miles on mine. And after I had ran them out of shape for running I wore them as just normal use shoes for several years afterward. Just replaced the insoles, which were fairly inexpensive as well. The shoes themselves will probably run you ~$175+ ish for the pair. But for me they were money VERY well spent.

When you change/drop the oil on a 6.0L, do the filter FIRST. There is a check valve that is held closed while the filter element is in place, thus holding oil. Once you remove the filter element, the oil (old/used oil) in that housing can then drain down into the pan.

I know this repair was tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough! (the right number of 'tough's from Shattered by the Stones?) but you did an elegant job getting it thoroughly sorted out. A note on those weatherpak-tyle connectors. With square pins and square receptacles (and this one in your video WAS already garfed up) you can enounter a scenario where the square pin resides INSIDE the metal receptacle BUT DOES NOT EVEN TOUCH THE SIDES! I experienced this on a Jeep Wrangler with a one pin weather pak from the temp sender to the gauge... You'd ohm out both sides even in series with the temp sender resistance to account for it.....but nnnnoooo! It would be intermittent. Once I squoze the receptacle down a wee bit (I had to remove it from the housing, squeeze it down, and re-insert into the housing) Poof! It worked perfectly. So you getting both sides brand spanking new was really the best decision. Regarding the oil pan, all's I can say is that has the same effed up complexity of 60s British bikes, I assure you! But you did well, gave it loving attention to detail, and the discussion regarding manufacturing those aluminum pigs was very enlightening. It was a great video, once again Wes!

Oil Pan Gasket, CPS and pigtail change, and the shoe repair. Awesome video.

I like your out-of-the-box thinking and the subtle humour. It's always a please to see you struggle ... and finally succeed. Thanks for sharing !

I ran a marathon in HOKA One One shoes and then wore them daily for another 2 years before they were toast. Best shoes I’ve ever owned.

It warms my heart to hear you talk measurements in metric.

Glad to see you back. Love this style of video without all the superfluous “production”. Running shoes…Brooks.

Wes you crack me up, not only are you the best mechanic on youtube but you have a great dry sense of humour. Added to that you appear to be a happy family unit and your long suffering Wife is always there for you,I just love Max but he always looks so sad. Your little chap is a chip off the old block and its great to see you three together. Keep up the good work I need more you are addictive and do your work without expletives unlike lesser youtubers Thanks

Its not a dry sense of humor its the only safe humor before it becomes R rated humor.

To me, there nothing worse than chasing down rogue electrical problems in a 12v or higher automotive/ truck/ equipment electrical system. At times it amounts to a dog chasing its tail, you are really busy, and at the same time, getting nothing accomplished. Nice job sir, thanks for the video, I enjoyed it.

It's a truly pleasure to watch you work. Thanks!

[@crisprtalk6963]

Great story, Makes me appreciate the complexity of a part like that.

Hoka One One is the best running shoes I've ever worn. I have the Bondi in solid black leather. Two years old and still lots of life in 'em.

You are by far the best diagnostic Mechanic on You Tube Wes! Well done!
